What Could Have Been Love Will Never Be

I've had this military jacket for like 3 years or so, but it is one of my fave jackets ever. (It's so Michael Jackson...which is appropriate because his Birthday was August 29th, would have been 54) Anyways....I paired the jacket with a silver studded black tank top and red skinny jeans. Finished the look with my ever popular spike studded heels by Candies.

The title of this post is a lyric from one of two new Aerosmith songs released Aug 28th off their upcoming album. What Could Have Been Love is a 80's love ballad style single. I immediately fell in love with the lyrics, melody and Steven's legendary rasp singing of love and heart break. Sigh.

I wake up and wonder

How everything went wrong

Am I the one to blame?

I gave up and left you

For nowhere by a train

Now that train has come and gone

I close my eyes and see you

Lying in my bed

And I still dream of that day

What could have been love

Should have been the only thing

That was meant to be

Didn't know, couldn't see

What was right in front of me

And now that I'm alone

All I have is emptiness

That comes from being free

What could have been love

Will never be

An old friend told me

That you found somebody new

Oh you're finally movin' on

Oh you think that I'd be over you

After all these years

Yeah, but time has proved me wrong

Cause I'm still holding on

What could have been love

Should have been the only thing

That was meant to be

Didn't know, couldn't see

What was right in front of me

And now that I'm alone

All I have is emptiness

That comes from being free

What could have been love

Will never be

We've gone our separate ways

Say goodbye to another day

I still wonder where you are

And are you too far from turning back

You were slippin' through my hands

And I didn't understand

What could have been love

Should have been the only thing

That was meant to be

Didn't know, couldn't see

What was right in front of me

And now that I'm alone

All I have is emptiness

That comes from being free

What could have been love

Will never be

What could have been love will never be

What could have been love

Mint Green

This is my new mint green sheer blouse. It's actually just like the leopard print one in my last look but a different color and plain. I paired it with a nude tank and a beaded necklace I made with tans, teals and brown beads. With my white denim mini and nude stiletto's I think it all ties together nicely. The silver bracelet is new...I tried it on last week in kohls and loved it but it wasn't on sale at the time so I didn't get it. Since then I had $10 worth of Kohls cash for my last purchase there and had found a pic of Steven Tyler wearing a very similar silver bracelet. (great minds think alike!) So when I went back to spend my Kohls cash and found the bracelet on sale...I of course had to buy it!

...I was enchanted to meet you

I just bought this amazing leopard print button up sheer blouse at Kohls. A flyer with a 20% off coupon came in the mail and one of the models was wearing this blouse, I had to go buy it. So I went to Kohls to use my coupon and buy this amazing shirt. I went in for a shirt and as always find other stuff I feel I need...like these amazing flare jeans that fit me perfectly and the black boots I am wearing. So I knotted the leopard print blouse at the waist and paired it with the new jeans. Anyways to accessorize this outfit I added a brown woven belt, my brown leather fringe bag and my wooden over sized cross necklace. I am also wearing a beaded necklace with brown tans, teals and cream colored wooden and metal beads...it's similar to the one I made and gave to Steven Tyler. Some additional photos

In another life, I would be your girl

Here is another look in this great wild streak top from nastygal.com. This time I knotted the sheer black and leopard top at the waist and paired it with my red skinny pants, black slit belt and bow tie & plaid stilettos by Candies.

This video is so very sad

Black, White & Blue

Here is my new blue sheer tank! I love this shirt, the color is awesome. I've had this vintage Michael Jackson trucker hat for a long time and don't think I've ever posted a look in it til now. I put on my white denim mini and my new black converse sneakers and that's all folks!

Birthday Attire

So, today is my 28th Birthday, so this look I posted on lookbook I named Birthday Attire. Very original I know. hahaha.

I had been wanting a black sheer top with stars on it and while shopping at TJ Maxx my friend found this and showed it to me. It was just what I had envisioned and I bought it. I paired it with white flare pants, black peep toe heels and my white Candies blazer. I thought it turned out nice.

Steven Tyler DIY tank

I took a Men's Steven Tyler graphic T-shirt and transformed it into a girly tank top. I found this awesome snow leopard print fabric at JoAnn Fabrics and made this skirt from it. I paired them with red suede wedges and my fave studded bag. I'm quite proud of this outfit since I made it, so I hope you like it!

Wild Streak

This amazing black & cheetah print sheer top is from nastygal.com I was browsing clothes on there and saw this and fell instantly in love with it...and later came back and bought it. I paired this with dark denim skinnies and my nude high heels. Here I wore the top over a nude tank but sometimes wear it over a black tank. To finish this look I added my over-sized wooden/brass cross necklace.

Everybody's got a dark side. Do you love me, can you love mine?

This is my new floral halter top that I recently bought on eBay. The skirt is sheer and flowy, so I paired it with faux leather leggings and my spike studded pumps. Photos taken by CoriKiddo (http://corikiddo.tumblr.com/)

I wish I knew then, what I know now

This teal and brown beaded tank is from Forever 21 and I paired it with my pink ruffle skirt by Candies and my brown Candies boots. The tank is absolutely gorgeous but the fabric likes to bunch in odd places and adds weight so it was hard to photograph without making me appear even bigger than I am. (My BFF Cori took these photos for me.) This is the first time I did a look with my new brown leather fringe purse...you can't see it super well in these photos so here is a close up of the bag. love it.

Sweet Emotion

I have a collection of Aerosmith shirt new and vintage and this is my new favorite shirt, Sweet Emotion. I love how the top is a dark grey but has all that color on the Aerosmith graphic. I paired it with my new bight cherry red denim capris. The capris look pretty orange in the photos though. I also wore my spike studded heels.

Red Door

I paired the animal print maxi dress with my white blazer, gold choker and gold glitter heels. Is it weird that I haven't washed this dress since I met Steven Tyler and Joe Perry while wearing it? It's like I can't bring myself to wash it....at least I haven't spilled anything on it and it doesn't smell bad. I think as long as those two things stay constant I will continue to not wash the dress. I'm such a little weirdo.

Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are

This leopard print cardigan is sheer and has black shoulder pads and a black satin tie waist. I found this on eBay and bought it from a seller in China for $10. I wore it with this black dress with a black sequin belted waist. I've owned this dress for probably close to 10 years now and it is one of the oldest things in my wardrobe. I am wearing faux leather leggings and my brand new nude strappy heels.
